Market Apps when switching?

How do you backup all the market apps I have downloaded so I can reinstall them when I get this phone? I remember when I tried the Bionic (returned), only the paid apps showed on the market, not the free ones.

Thanks,

Dave

Uh. If you go to Settings, Privacy, then have the Backup checkbox checked, anytime you sign into a new phone with your Google account it'll download all your apps and app settings.

I have my Droid Incredible and original Galaxy Tab 7" tied to the same account. If I do what you suggested, how do I make sure that ONLY my new phone get the apps and apps settings from my Dinc. I want to make sure that the Galaxy Tab remains unchanged.
 
I was going to start a new thread for this but it will fit well here:

If i backup all my apps on my tbolt with titanium backup and then get the Galaxy Nexus and root it and restore the backup will it work fine or is there issues with using titanium backup across devices?

You will be fine with that. Just make sure its just apps and not system data.
 
is app data fine 2? And ya i would have assumed no system apps, that causes problems even when going between os versions on the same device

No clue. I'm guessing they'll automatically know that you have a phone device and a tablet device on your account.

The first time I connected my Xoom, it tried to download all the apps off my phone. But now that it's set up, if I were to connect a new tablet, I'm guessing it'll just get the info from my Xoom and not my phone. But who knows!
 
You guys can use Listables (link in sig) too just to create a backup list of your apps in case anything goes wrong.

This was one of the original goals of Listables :D

Yeah. I have backed up and restored apps+data on my last few devices. Just don't do any system apps.

The only caveat I'd have on that is what if
1) an app keeps its data on the external SD
2) you've moved an app to the external SD
Maybe the nexus will have a folder called external_sd that is really on the internal memory.
 
P.S. if you log into the market via web browser it shows every app you have installed on any device under your name, pay or free, and you can push them to any device you have.
